The matrix equation $X+A^{T}X^{-1}A=Q$ arises in Green's function calculations in nano
research, where $A$ is a real square matrix and $Q$ is a real symmetric matrix dependent on a parameter
and is usually indefinite. ...

This inquiry is an exploration of the professional metaphors ESL teachers in
Saskatchewan choose to conceptualize and position themselves as language
teachers. By situating the metaphors narratively, within a collective ...

If $A$ is a matrix with no negative real eigenvalues
and all zero eigenvalues of $A$ are semisimple, the principal
$p$th root of $A$ can be computed by Newton's method or Halley's method,
with a preprocessing procedure ...

A permutation on the set X = {1, 2, ... , n} is a bijective function from X to itself. The set of all permutations on X is called the symmetric group and is denoted by Sym(n). An m-cyclic permutation is a permutation which ...

A sample compression scheme of size k for a concept class C is a pair of functions
(f; g) called the compression function and the reconstruction function. The functions
have the property that for any sample S consistent ...

The positive semidefinite zero forcing number of a graph is a graph parameter that arises from a non-traditional type of graph colouring and is related to a more conventional version of zero forcing. We establish a relation ...

In this work, we study the structure of the null spaces of matrices associated with
graphs. Our primary tool is utilizing Schur complements based on certain collections
of independent vertices. This idea is applied in ...

The zero forcing number and the positive zero forcing number of a graph are
two graph parameters that arise from two types of graph colourings. The zero
forcing number is an upper bound on the minimum number of induced ...

In many fields of applied mathematics, engineering and economic sciences there appear matrix Riccati equations. During the last three decades, there was achieved great progress in the mathematical theory of Riccati equations ...

The course management system (CMS) reinforces the status quo and hinders substantial teaching and learning innovation in higher education. It
does so by imposing artificial time limits on learner access to course content ...

In October 2012, the government of British Columbia announced its support for the creation of open textbooks for the 40 highest impact first-and second-year courses in the province’s public post-secondary system. BCcampus ...

In this thesis, a quantitative analysis of the optical response of an amorphous
semiconductor is presented. The entire analysis is cast within the framework of
an empirical model for the valence band and conduction band ...

Rationale: The purpose of this thesis is to examine employee perceptions and experiences in order to understand which attributes support the creation and maintenance of an optimal work culture.
Aim: The thesis is driven ...
